See Lemma 3.4 of the paper by L. Solus below. %C A130477 When T(n,k) is taken as the weight of coordinate x_k for k = 0,...,n-1 in an (n-1)-dimensional weighted projective space, the result is the toric variety defined by an n-dimensional simplex whose Ehrhart h^*-polynomial is the n-th Eulerian polynomial.
